The duo [Tobias Wong + Ken Courtney] took McDonald's classic coffee stirrer of the '70s — more notoriously used as drug paraphernalia...Ken: It was all born from my wanting to cast the McDonald’s coffee stirrer in gold. I was browsing around on eBay one (1) night and came across one of the original stirrers someone was selling. It described how the spoons had been taken off the market in the late 70’s by the McDonald’s corporation when they found out that people were using them to do cocaine. I called Tobi and asked him to help me find a jeweler to work with and he mentioned the Bic Pen cap idea. That’s when I decided we should collaborate and make an entire line. Pun intended.
